Today, we’re happy to introduce a helpful new feature called Piping. Available on paid plans, Piping allows you to display an answer from a previous question on a later page. For example, a piped answer could be displayed in a question or as a new answer choice in a follow-up question.

If you ask the participant to choose a favorite color:

1. What is your favorite color?

Red

Green

Blue

You could incorporate the answer into a question asked later in the survey:

2. Please tell us why you like Green best.

Or, if you ask the participant’s name:

1. Please tell us your name.

You could include his or her name in a final “thank you” message:

Thank you for answering our survey Mary!

How to Add Piping

Piping can be used to pull answers from the following question types:

Multiple Choice – Single answer

Multiple Choice – List

Open Text – Single line

Open Text – Paragraph

Selected, or piped, text can be displayed within these survey elements:

Question titles

Answer choices

Headings and paragraphs

A “thank you” message

Remember, in order to add piping, the piped text must be inserted below its original placement, in a later page of the survey. For example, to display text for question one, simply insert [Q1] in the text of a later question, answer choice, paragraph, or message.

We hope you enjoy this new feature! As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please email us at: support@survs.com.

We’re excited to share three new features we’ve been working on over the past few weeks.

Email Notifications

You can now subscribe to email notifications for new survey responses. Once subscribed, you will receive a daily email digest with a summary only when there are new responses. Sign up for notifications via the survey Settings page by activating the Email Notifications option.

Better HTML Embed Channel

We’ve made improvements to the HTML Embed channel. When embedding the survey into your website or blog, you can now choose from the following options:

Auto resize – Adapts the frame height to the survey height.

Transparent background – Sets the survey background transparent.

Hide header – Hides the survey header.

Full width – Removes the survey margins, making the frame full width.

HTML Text Formatting

You can now add basic HTML tags to create links as well as embolden, italicize, and underline text within the survey.

If your language is not one of the 29 available, you can still create your own using the Language Editor. To do so, simply enter the survey Settings page and click the Edit link next to the Language menu.

As always, we love to hear from our users. If you have any questions or suggestions, you can write to us at: support@survs.com
